CLEVELAND - Administrative Judge Leslie Ann Celebrezze and the Cuyahoga County Domestic Relations Court are pleased to announce the graduation of Anjanette Whitman from the Ohio Court Management Program.

“Every aspect of the Court Management Program was professional, thorough and immediately applicable to my role with the court,” said Whitman. “I have been able to use the knowledge gained at every step along the way. The professional relationships forged with those in the course, those who organized it and those who served as facilitators is an amazing resource beyond what I imagined when we began the course. The CMP program truly has changed the trajectory of my professional path in a positive way.”
